The Rhinstraße is about six kilometer road in the Berlin districts Lichtenberg (districts Friedrichsfelde , Lichtenberg , Alt-Hohenschönhausen ) and Marzahn-Hellersdorf (district of Marzahn ). It was named after the River Rhin in Brandenburg . The section between the Friedrichsfelde Ost S-Bahn station and Landsberger Allee , which belongs to the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district , also represents the district boundary.
History and house number counting
Rhinstrasse begins at the intersection with federal highways 1 and 5 on Alt-Friedrichsfelde as a continuation of Am Tierpark. From there it leads almost in a straight line to the north and successively crosses the Ostbahn at the Friedrichsfelde Ost S-Bahn station , the Allee der Kosmonauten , the Landsberger Allee and the Tegel – Friedrichsfelde industrial line . It finally ends at the intersection with the main street in the Alt-Hohenschönhausen district , where it turns into Wartenberger Straße.
Rhinstrasse has at least four lanes over its entire length and has a tram line between the two separate lanes on the median . There are also separate sidewalks along the entire length of the street .
The house numbers run from 1 to 190 and follow a horseshoe shape . The allocation is incomplete.
history
When exactly the Rhinstrasse was laid out as such is unknown, but the period around 1894 can be identified on the basis of maps. Today's middle section of the street was an unpaved and nameless path and ran parallel to Hohenschönhausener Weg from the Ostbahn at the level of today's Friedrichsfelde Ost S-Bahn station in the south to Landsberger Chaussee (today Landsberger Allee) in the north. Because of the wetlands on the western side (Marzahn-Hohenschönhauser Grenzgraben and ponds) there was no residential development there, but allotment gardens developed at the end of the 19th century.
The area from Berliner Straße (today Alt-Friedrichsfelde ) to the railway line was named Mühlenberg around 1902 after a windmill that stood on the rising eastern terrain at that time . Around 1912 this section of the street was renamed Rhinstrasse.
With the housing construction program adopted by the GDR at the beginning of the 1970s, this street was lengthened and expanded to create a spacious tangential link between East Berlin . The entire area north of the railway line of the Ostbahn was largely undeveloped, so that the road could be widened without complications, including the laying of a tram line on a separate track bed in the middle of the street. The traffic route in the direction of Hohenschönhausen was extended in sections. On April 2, 1975, the northern extension of Rhinstrasse in the direction of Hohenschönhausen was included in Rhinstrasse. On November 2, 1975, the tram drove for the first time from the Am Tierpark street to Springpfuhlstraße (also rebuilt at that time, now Allee der Kosmonauten ) and further west towards Herzbergstraße. The northern section of the tram route to the existing lines in Hohenschönhausen was opened on April 1, 1985. About halfway up this route, the road crosses the Tegel – Friedrichsfelde industrial line on a bridge , although it was already foreseeable that it would be closed when the road was built.
In connection with the expansion of Rhinstrasse, the S-Bahn station Friedrichsfelde Ost was relocated from Marzahner Chaussee to Rhinstrasse in 1979 .
Development
Between the Alt-Friedrichsfelde street and the railway line there are multi-storey prefabricated buildings on the western side of the street, which belong to the new Rosenfelder Ring district and were built in the late 1960s. Ten-storey residential buildings were built on the eastern side of the street. In the late 1990s, these buildings became the property of a housing association. On one of the two 21-storey corner houses, she had a symbolic design based on the Mühlberg theme. Allotments then extend to the street as far as the confluence with Seddiner Straße.
The section between the railway line and the Alley der Kosmonauten is characterized by allotment gardens on the west side and industrial buildings on the east side. The Marzahn thermal power station is remarkable here.
East of the intersection with the Allee der Kosmonauten, a multifunctional industrial area has developed from a pure production site since 1994. Existing buildings were renovated and modernized and modern new buildings were built. In addition to companies from the automotive industry, companies from electrical engineering and electronics as well as the health industry have established themselves here. Wholesalers, retailers and specialized workshops offer a wide range of products and services.
Between the Allee der Kosmonauten and Landsberger Allee, the East Berlin administration had several prefabricated buildings built on the west side as accommodation for contract workers ( guest workers ) from Vietnam .
At the intersection with Landsberger Allee is the 100 meter high office tower "Die Pyramide" , built in 1994/1995 and one of the tallest buildings in Berlin . With the completion of this high-rise, a small connecting road between Pyramidenring and Landsberger Allee was named "Alte Rhinstrasse".
In the section between Landsberger Allee and Hohenschönhausen, Rhinstrasse runs through an area mainly built up with single-family houses, which has been cut by the alignment of the street.
